A square, multi-storeyed brick structure built on a raised stone platform. Constructed using laterite bricks, typical of Kerala architecture. A sloping tiled roof to protect the interior from heavy monsoon rains. Stone steps and circular stone rollers/wheels around the base, which were used during maintenance and pest control.

And this is the structure belongs to the medieval period of Kerala history (roughly 15th–18th century CE) and functioned as a granary for storing paddy and other grains. Such Nilavaras were commonly found in temple complexes and royal households under local rulers and chieftains.

#ARCHAEOLOGICALDISPLAYSTONEINSOUTHINDIA

#SOUTHINDIABYCARANDDRIVER

#KYNTIEWLANGTOURS

An archaeological display of stone bead–making. It illustrates the different stages involved in making stone beads, including:

Stone raw material – unprocessed stones collected from nature

Stone debitage – stone chips and waste produced during cutting and shaping

Stone bead blank – roughly shaped bead pieces

Stone bead rough-out – partially finished beads

Finished stone beads – polished and ready for use. Such displays are commonly found in archaeological museums or excavation reports to explain ancient bead-manufacturing technology, especially from early historical or prehistoric periods in South India.
